Learning and Memory Texts
After 2 years of my retirement, the Psychology chairperson at one of our local institutions asked me if I would be willing to teach a Learning and Memory course. Because I have not taught that course for some years, I would appreciate some textbook suggestions. If you have the time and inclination to mention the major strong and/or weak point(s) of each text, I would find that extremely helpful.

Re: Extra Credit By Time Warp
I state my policy clearly on my syllabus. The syllabus is distributed at the first class meeting.

I still get a few requests for extra credit. In response, I tell them to check the policy on the syllabus and this usually takes care of the problem. Happy Holidays, Hank P.S.

For one thing, we almost never mee the assumptions of the model (e.g., random sampling, normal populations, homogeneity of variance). And, just as importantly, it is too damn confusing! (it's no wonder students dislike statistics). Regardless, a couple quick comments (and please correct me where you think necessary): Martin J. Bourgeois wrote that: an observed difference between means is more likely to be replicated when the p is .001 than when the p is .1. You can certainly calculate the probability of replicating a result with a given p value, and results with smaller p's are more likely to be replicated (yes, it has been supported by data) Let's not forget that p values are GREATLY influenced by sample size. Given data sets with any means and variances, I can give you ANY p-value you want, simply by adding more subjects. So, is likelihood of replication in the context of holding sample size constant? Also, I'm not sure what is meant by an observed difference. Is this the magnitude of difference (e.g., effect size), or just that there is a statistically significant difference? P-values are affected by the difference between means, sample size, and variance. So, by definition, larger observed differences result in smaller p-values, holding the other factors constant of course. But, is this difference more likely to be replicated than a smaller difference? Given equally good methods of random assignment to groups (or, in the rare case, random sampling), we should be equally likely to replicate the real state of the world, whatever it is. Or, am I missing something here? Mike Scoles wrote: A p-value is only meaningful if the null hypothesis is true. This is absolutely correct, but too often forgotten! In fact, many of our stats books actually teach this incorrectly. A p-value indicates the probability of obtaining your data, ASSUMING THAT THE NULL IS TRUE. In my opinion, this is the most important concept one needs to fully comprehend if they are to properly use techniques from the classical statistical model. A must-read article on this topic is: On the Probability of Making Type I Errors by Pollard and Richardson, Psychological Bulletin, 1987, 102: 159-163 Interesting discussion!

Re: Marginally Significant?
Since the choice of alpha is somewhat arbitrary and should depend, to a large extent, on the relative importance (i.e., practical consequences) of Type I and Type II errors, I don't agree that significance is an either-or decision.

Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, and fibrinogen are considered independent risk factors for coronary heart disease and can be elevated by dehydration. The associations between fatal coronary heart disease and intake of water and fluids other than water were examined among the 8,280 male and 12,017 female participants aged 38-100 years who were without heart disease, stroke, or diabetes at baseline in 1976 in the Adventist Health Study, a prospective cohort study. A total of 246 fatal coronary heart disease events occurred during the 6-year follow-up. High daily intakes of water (five or more glasses) compared with low (two or fewer glasses) were associated with a relative risk in men of 0.46 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28, 0.75; p trend = 0.001) and, in women, of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.97). A high versus low intake of fluids other than water was associated with a relative risk of 2.47 (95% CI: 1.04, 5.88) in women and of 1.46 (95% CI: 0.7, 3.03) in men. All associations remained virtually unchanged in multivariate analysis adjusting for age, smoking, hypertension, body mass index, education, and (in women only) hormone replacement therapy. Fluid intake as a putative coronary heart disease risk factor may deserve further consideration in other populations or using other study designs. The author of a secondary source (Prevention magazine) characterized Dr. Chan in an interview as saying that, the benefits start with five glasses a day, but more is better ...
